FfFfFfFF 58,083 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Biologist Izabela Kulaszewicz was settling in for a lazy evening at the Polish Polar Station, Hornsund, on Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, when a message came over the radio. Two researchers had just spotted a polar bear. About 100 meters away, a chubby female polar bear was sniffing the air and walking toward the coast. Soon, she disappeared into the tundra, only to emerge later, galloping toward several reindeer on the shoreline. The pray was dead within 1 minute. The cook at the research station caught everything on film, making it the first video evidence of polar bears eating reindeer—something that had long been assumed, but never clearly seen. “I was shocked,” Kulaszewicz says. Polar bears could supplement their diets with reindeer in the summer when sea ice is low, Stempniewicz says. “We could view this as a little piece of good news, at least for the local polar bears,” says Steven Amstrup, chief scientist at Polar Bears International.
